Really?

Then perhaps you had better stop telling lies about Colorado !

How many candidates were there for National delegate? Something like 800?

Because Trump is lying to people. Colorado has not had a primary since 2002.

The Cruznadian Washington Cartel Elite never sleep. Would you if the important things in life to you were on the line: Sex, Wealth, Power. And you stood to lose everything you’d worked for, to get into that position, all your career? There are a lot of crony capitalists in the Donor Class counting on you.

Steve House’s reply:

James,

Thank you for your note. Go ahead and burn the party down if that is what it takes to put this country on the right track then I am open to anything.

What happened over the weekend was simple and had no manipulation or underhanded process in it. The Cruz campaign worked harder than anyone else over a longer period of time, using the process that we have to create a victory for him. He came to Colorado, and was the only candidate who did, gave a great speech and won. I would have been perfectly okay with the result being for Mr. Trump had he and his team done the same thing. I will support whoever wins without hesitation but blaming other people when you don’t get what you want is only relevant if you did the work honestly and someone manipulated the process. That didn’t happen here.

I think people are upset right now because they either don’t like the process or don’t understand it. I am one of the people who doesn’t like it. It’s complicated and many don’t understand why we don’t just have a national primary across all 50 states in about June, pick the winner and go after the democrats in the general election. There are complications to that as well but it comes down to states rights on how we pick candidate. We should have a presidential primary here but the legislature eliminated it in 2002 because it costs to much and that is a limited government move. Up until this year no one cared. We will put a presidential primary back into our law before this year is over.

Lastly, the one thing I do not get from the Trump supporters who are mad at me right now is why so many believe he isn’t going to win. I think Mr. Trump has woken America up and we should be thankful for that. But why do you think he isn’t going to win. He has a big lead, the easiest path to the nomination, a lead in critical states like NY and California etc. Channel you energy into getting your guy elected and in the end if really manipulation happens I will be there to light the match for you.

Steve

Do these people who support Trump even know he has said he will deport the illegals, bring back the good ones, and expedite the process for those he allows to return?

Whether we like it or not, this is taking on a life of its own and Cruz and the GOP will be haunted by it. It is not going away, it is getting stronger every day.

Doesn’t matter that the Rules have been in place for a while or if they were followed to the letter.

The #nevertrump Tweet from the CO GOP congratulating themselves will be a festering boil that won’t go away.

The Fix Is In meme is here to stay, whether true or not.

Gird your Loins.

Cruz can fool you, but he cannot fool actual survivors of the foreign invasion crime wave.

It appears that the anti Trump GOPe politicos are using their former state organizations to run the Cruz effort in those states; making it look like the Cruz campaign is organized and effective. This allows the underhanded GOPe to stand by, saying that Cruz's organization is doing a great job so as not to look like they are confronting Trump.

Remember one very important thing; money is a convertible form of power and Trump has a lot more than any of the politicians who are trying to do him harm. Either way this turns out, the anti Trump people have to be careful not to look like they are actively screwing the Donald because they know that with the resources he has, payback down the road can and definitely will be a real bitch.

Amazing how all these people are trying to excuse the disenfranchisement of Colorado voters by blaming Trump for not having a presence in Colorado. That’s like a cheater at cards blaming you for not having the guts to show up and play a round of poker with him.

Clearly the Trump team saw how corrupted the Colorado delegate selection process had become and realized they had no chance to win against a rigged system so decided the best play was to let it run its course and then expose the corruption after the fact, which is pretty much what they’re doing now. Sometimes allowing your enemy to self-destruct, by exposing his perfidy, is the best option.

Looks like a sign of a “growing angry backlash”.

Third party. It’s time for the GOPe to just fade away. I’d rather see anarchy than for these fat pigs to continue to dictate their terms of pseudo “conservatism.”
